KenM - Your a man who knows what it takes to survive in this industry. This isn't the first time things have slowed. Like you said, just need to dig in. Diversify and survive. Whine and sit at the house and go broke. Very intelligent perspective.

I hear ya, Shane. We don't need a union, just more heart to take it to the ass of those pricks who like to rip others off, or jerk them around and cause them hardships. Man's gonna think twice about trying it if he knows you'll cut him a new asshole for doing it. All these years I've been in it, I can honestly say that I have yet to be ripped off. I'd rather take an ass whiping, rot in prison, or what the f--k ever, than to have to live with the fact that I let some bastard take money that I earned and support my family with. You sure as hell didn't hear of much of this ripping off or jerking guys when I first started in So. Cal. Most linemen were bikers that were in an MC and they damn sure wouldn't let it happen. Seen one knock the shit of a college boy, pansy ass that was disrespecting him on a job site because being the general manager of the MSO, he thought he could. Should of seen him pee on his self. Sure he called the law and ol boy went to jail, but I bet the gm didn't talk anymore shit to a linemen! Stand up for what you believe in and at least you'll sleep easy and feel better about yourself.

Hey Dave. Good luck up in the great white north. Brandon going with you? Don't tell me your going to Harrisburg, Pa? What happened down in Corpus? You get tired of your money being controlled by good ol AT&T/Time Whiner? Five pieces a day in city running! Man oh man! I don't know how you made it. Tell the family I said hello. Tell Brandon, bet he wishes he would of made a copy of that tape we made of our infamous beach tackle football game! Ha! Ha! I gave him like three different chances.Tell him if he asks right, I'll make him a copy and mail it to him. Oh, and e-mail me your number again. Kathy threw away the envelope that I wrote it down on. Later, bro.

did'nt hear bad back then cause there was no CABL.COM! (that does'nt quite sound right does it?) quit the bad-assing vest. its not helping anyone get or keep jobs. it just adds to the negativity. very non-productive negativity. i have never seen a dead horse continue to be beaten like i have here.
